This Maple Mustard Roasted Carrots recipe combines sweet maple syrup and tangy mustards to create a flavorful glaze that perfectly complements tender roasted carrots. Easy to prepare and delicious as a side dish, these carrots offer a balance of sweetness, zest, and buttery richness, making them a delightful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Glaze

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Main Ingredient

  • 2 lb carrots, peeled and tops trimmed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper. Whisk continuously until the glaze is fully emulsified and warmed through, ensuring all ingredients are combined into a smooth mixture.
  2. Preheat and prepare carrots: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats, peel the carrots and trim off the green tops. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  3. Glaze the carrots: Drizzle most of the maple mustard glaze over the carrots, reserving about 1 to 2 tablespoons for later. Toss the carrots gently using your hands or a spoon so each carrot is well coated with the flavorful glaze, then spread them out evenly on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast the carrots: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the carrots for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the carrots occasionally during roasting to promote even cooking and prevent the glaze from burning. If you notice the glaze is darkening too quickly but the carrots are still firm, cover the baking sheet loosely with foil and continue roasting.
  5. Finish and serve: Once the carrots are fork tender and beautifully caramelized, remove them from the oven. Transfer the carrots to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining reserved glaze for an extra burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and tangy roasted carrot side dish!

Notes

  • Use fresh carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute butter with olive oil for a different taste profile.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity for more or less sweetness according to your preference.
  • Grainy mustard adds texture and pungency; if unavailable, use extra Dijon mustard.
  • If carrots vary in size, slice thicker ones in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
  • Check the carrots frequently near the end of roasting to prevent burning.
